    I am typing this on the Surface Book 2 and it's still going strong after all this time :)
    Although I am slowly moving to the Surface Laptop 7th Edition on ARM and that's impressive also.
    That's not to say this isn't an incredible deal!

    • jp1011 on 28/08/2024 - 16:25

      Hi just curious if you've run into any compatibility or stability issues with ARM?

      • SimAus007 on 28/08/2024 - 16:31

        The only issue I have had with the Surface Laptop on ARM is with a very niche app called ProTools (audio editing) along with its associated Focusrite external audio interface (no driver yet), but I am sure most people would never use this.
        The Adobe CC suite is incredible on it, so far :)
        Everything else I use works as good or better on ARM (snappier).

          Appreciate your insight!

    • datafellows on 28/08/2024 - 17:37

      I got the 2 as well. I just love the form factor and that you can go with the screen and it's still a proper windows tablet.

      Alas my Laptop 4 died and got the 5 as replacement so it's been my daily device.

      But with this price might buy this one as a spare :P

    • ram4ram on 28/08/2024 - 21:19

      on ARM

      What do you mean by this?

      Is ARM like a SOC, like the Macbooks?
      …meaning minimal use of fan because it stays cool, amazing battery life and performance?

    If this was 16GB I'd jump on it. Loved my SB2, had it for years before the battery died. Bit of a hefty unit but a pleasure to use.

    I swore off Surface Book's when my Surface Book battery ballooned and swelled up. Microsoft offered to replace for around $1000 as it was out of warranty. It was a common problem in the first generation, not sure with the newer ones. Never again.

      Planned obsolescence.

    • Binchicken22 on 28/08/2024 - 17:43

      Battery replacement for $1000?!?! Geez, why is it so hard? You can replace a battery on a dell for about $40.

        Its basically a tablet. Taking this thing apart requires a dremel and a crapton of effort.

        The Surface pros 7+ and above have easily replaceable hard drives, which is something.

        • scotty on 28/08/2024 - 18:52

          I bought a refurbished Dell Latitude 7200 which is a Surface Pro-like tablet/2-in-1, and Dell even provided service manual on their website on how to take it apart to replace battery & SSD. I still don't see why Microsoft has to copy Apple and makes their devices difficult to service by their users.

    • Whodis on 28/08/2024 - 18:40

      Mine just basically stopped turning on

    • Vadermort on 28/08/2024 - 22:00

      My experience has been different. Still using my SB1 after 7 years. It's now only just starting to have battery issues, and even still, it gives me 3-5 hours of battery life.

  • UTP on 28/08/2024 - 17:29

    How many nits brightness? I have laptop 4 and it's so dim

  • jlv on 28/08/2024 - 17:31

    Random question but is the USB-C port on these good enough to power the device? I only ask as I remember on the SB2 that wasn't the case.. the USB-C wasn't good enough to POWER the device. However was this the case with the Book 3's?

    Another way to ask the question.. could I live with this device and a 65W USB-C power cable charger??

    • noren7 on 28/08/2024 - 18:23

      You could power the i5 non-dGPU ver!

    • cyssero on 28/08/2024 - 18:49

      My SB2 could be powered by USB-C, I was able to use a 45w Xiaomi power bank to charge it. I had the dGPU variant.

      If the dGPU was in use it might consume more power than it was being charged with. The USB-C port would also not work if the Surface connector was in use.

    Windows 10 is a little strange? Given these should have been securely wiped and they support 11, don't know why they wouldn't at least install the latest version of Windows.

    • AndrewMTG on 28/08/2024 - 18:08

      because windows 11 sucks!!

      • leftspeaker2000 on 28/08/2024 - 19:07

        I really Ike windows 11

      • Nillionaire on 28/08/2024 - 20:49

        You prefer sharp squares to rounded corners?

      • AndrewMTG on 28/08/2024 - 20:52

        i really don't like how certain stuff in windows eleven is like broken…

        and Makin certain settings harder like no sound control panel it's a pain to get that.

  • kungfuman on 28/08/2024 - 17:40

    damn it was almost good till I realized not thunderbolt port…. o well.

  • casmxl on 28/08/2024 - 17:56

    I bought my son the surfacebook 1 i7 8g w/ 256 when he was in Year6. It kept having issues so Microsoft kept replacing/upgrading us. Now he has surfacebook 3 i7 32g with 512 memory.

    • Tm15 on 28/08/2024 - 19:02

      i bought an original surface pro and it gave me shocks while plugged in and they refused to replace it.

      • GregRust on 28/08/2024 - 21:44

        Mine did this too!

  • ryanhunt on 28/08/2024 - 17:59

    Any chance you’ll get the models that had dedicated graphics (gpu) ?

  • Slave1 on 28/08/2024 - 18:13

    Would these be suitable for a year 7 student next year?

    • cannedhams on 28/08/2024 - 18:41

      Hardware is more than sufficient. However, they don't like being dropped very much. Its not especially kid friendly in terms of durability.

      • Slave1 on 28/08/2024 - 19:28

        Thanks for the reply. Any idea on battery life if these are at least at 80% health? Would it make it through a school day?

  • noren7 on 28/08/2024 - 18:24

    The image is of a SB2 ahaha

  • tms846 on 28/08/2024 - 18:28

    The link doesn't seem to work.

  • DingoBlue on 28/08/2024 - 18:59

    1035G7? Is that series 10 or 1 or 7?

    • AndrewMTG on 28/08/2024 - 19:40

      10th gen yo

  • aussman on 28/08/2024 - 19:13

    My surface book had the screen spontaneously get a hairline crack across it likely battery swell

  • congo on 28/08/2024 - 19:25

    Is there a way to prevent these battery swell?

  • ram4ram on 28/08/2024 - 21:25

    This is a bloody good deal…

    10th gen Intel processor.

    Screen that also isn't 720p /HD.

    Less than $500.

    This is a definite BUY if you're on a budget and looking for decent performance especially for everyday tasks. Upgradable to Windows 11 too.
